Summer is crazy busy for families, and it’s no different for your Linn Area Credit Union family! Our motto “We Are Family” is very telling of the types of events that we have lined up for the blazing hot summer of 2011! We’ll keep you guys updated on these family friendly events right here on the blog, Facebook and Twitter – so keep your eyes peeled!

Now we KNOW that most of you have seen our colorful Linn Area Credit Union hot air balloon either soaring in the sky or as part of the Balloon Glow at Brucemore. But did you know that our balloon is also part of Tanager Place’s Summer Fest? Indeed, it is!

Kick off your summer with a FREE family festival for Tanager Place. Join in the fun TOMORROW (Saturday, June 4th) at the 21st annual Summer Fest located at the Rockwell Collins Sports Complex (F Avenue and Collins Road NE) from 3:30 to 8:30 pm.

This event is so much fun for the whole family! With over 75 FREE activities, there’s something for everyone! Go to the General Mills Make your Own Cereal Tent or swing over to the Video Gaming Area to try your hand at some cool video games. Don’t forget to play a little mini-golf or check out all of the really cool collector cars! There is even an entire tent dedicated to kids’ crafts!

Saving the best for last (or so WE like to think!), the event concludes with a balloon glow. We’d LOVE it if you scoped out the Linn Area balloon and got your picture taken by it! Feel free to send the picture to us or post it to our Facebook page!

Keep your eyes open for some familiar Linn Area Credit Union faces, as many of us will be volunteering that day! We hope to see you there as we help kick off the summer of 2011!
